About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
That’s very cool. I only wish it was here in SoCal.
Besides the fact that we all end up traveling, and I hope many of you come visit, of course, it is “everyone’s” museum, worldwide, and its support by the cryptozoology community at large, whether in SoCal or Sumatra, keeps this one alive. Memberships are a way to actively get involved, no matter where you are. Those on that list will get special news.
It will be a long time before I’m every able to visit in person but would be willing to donate because I want a t-shirt really bad. However, I wear a XXL will they come in that size?
Yes, some XXXLs are even available because some people use extra large tee-shirts for pajamas. Also, I want one big enough for a Bigfoot. Sizes include women’s style (with different sleeves) and kid’s smalls.
I’m trying to cover all the bases to meet the needs of tourists and researchers. 🙂
